ReRank Breakdown: 2007 Washington Recruiting Class

The Washington 2007 recruiting class featured a total of 27 recruits, with an original ranking of 37 and a subsequent S2S rerank of 68, indicating a notable decline in perceived talent as they progressed in their college careers. The class comprised a relatively low percentage of blue-chip recruits at 19%, which often correlates with higher performance outcomes. The majority of the recruits ultimately fell short of their initial rankings, leading to an overall disappointing outcome for the class.
A closer examination of the recruits shows that while there were some standout performers, such as Cort Dennison who achieved All Conference recognition, most players did not reach their expected potential. The presence of several unranked recruits who contributed at a college starter level suggests that while the program may have developed some talent internally, it struggled to maximize the potential of its higher-ranked recruits. This is further highlighted by the number of players categorized as "Bust," which reflects an inability to meet the expectations set during the recruiting process.

Overall, the 2007 recruiting class for Washington underperformed relative to expectations. The S2S rerank moving down from 37 to 68 indicates a significant drop in the perceived value of the recruits as they transitioned to college football. The class featured a mix of contributors and a few standout players, yet the high volume of players categorized as Bust underscores the challenges faced by the program in developing its recruits. The takeaway is that while there were some individual successes, the overall efficacy of the recruiting class left much to be desired.
